104 Sacrifice Corridor 18 || Who will die tonight?
"We checked the apartment during the day and found no clues." Lin Haichen had just compiled everyone's information. "Those who stayed in the complex during the day were mostly elderly people or children. The young people had gone to work in the factories."
"I also asked a few elderly people, and they said the same thing as Zhang Weiguo: this place used to be a mass grave. As for the missing persons, they didn't react much, just like eating and drinking water, they were used to it."
"Have you visited their rooms?" Yan Shuang asked.
"I've seen it. I used the excuse of borrowing something and took a look the moment I opened the door. Every house has a strong sense of life, as if the residents have really lived here for a long time." Lin Haichen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he spoke, his mood sinking. "If this whole game is related to Feng Shui, I think I might have made a mistake."
People who don’t understand Feng Shui will not pay special attention to those tiny details, which may even be as small as an inconspicuous little ornament or the orientation of the little ornament.
Among the fourteen people, only Jing Ning understood something, and even if the others saw it, they just saw it.
The proprietress returned to the house at the appointed time. Everyone knew that it was already dark outside and that it was time for them to face death again.
Everyone left the restaurant, their minds still on the previous topic.
He Xiaoxuan looked up at their dark window and asked, "What should we do tonight?"
There was no way to predict what would happen tonight, whether they would call again or whether the other party's deception would escalate. Lin Haichen spoke in the darkness, "Whether the phone rings or not tonight, you must remain vigilant. If the phone rings in someone's room, don't believe it no matter what they say or do. Control your impulses and distinguish between illusion and reality. And if leaving the room is the only way to avoid danger, then please make your own decision."
Everyone agreed, but it was still a question as to which direction the game would develop in the future, and they could only rely on speculation and precautions.
"Let's go back, it's getting late." Lin Haichen called everyone.
No one left. It seemed that death would come as soon as they stepped into the building, and they would be trapped there and never come out.
Lin Haichen shook his head helplessly, sighed, and took the lead in walking up the stairs where a heavy sound came from.
Zhao Qifan grabbed his roommate, his fingers cold, and said to someone unknown, "Then let's go back too." He mustered up his courage, turned around and stepped into the darkness.
Next came Tian Yiyi and Xu Yaoyu.
Wu Yushan and He Xiaoxuan followed closely behind, and Zhou Xia's roommate was also among them.
"Yaqi, let's go." Zhao Wanqing saw that the majority of the group had already gone upstairs, and she didn't want to be left behind. There was always a sense of security in numbers. Wu Yaqi's face hadn't been good since the quarrel yesterday, and it was gloomy. Zhao Wanqing was a little afraid of her and regretted her impulsive decision yesterday. But there was nothing she could do but try her best to please her.
Wu Yaqi's face was full of displeasure. She thought Wu Yushan would bow her head and apologize first today.
Although they were unhappy, they could not bear Zhao Wanqing's constant urging, so they finally followed the team.
Jing Ning and Yan Shuang stood there tacitly and didn't rush back to the room. Zhou Xia was also beside them.
Ye Jingan was in the middle, his mind was so cold that he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going back?"
"No rush." Yan Shuang looked at the people who disappeared down the stairs.
"You're not in a hurry either?" Ye Jing'an looked at Zhou Xia, "I've noticed that you always like to be a light bulb."
Zhou Xia looked displeased, his eyes showing no sign of disguising his opinion that Ye Jingan was an idiot. He said coldly, "You discovered it too?"
Yan Shuang knew he was talking to him and said "hmm".
"What...what do you mean? What did you find out?" Ye Jing'an was completely confused, as if he had not missed anything just now, so how did he find a problem?
Soon, the footsteps on the stairs completely disappeared. The player returned to the room and turned on the light. The dim light shone through the window. Jing Ning's voice was very soft, but with an undeniable heaviness, he said: "Who will die tonight?"
"Boss... don't scare me." Ye Jing'an's heart was beating like thunder. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sense of security disappeared without a trace. The most important thing was that he didn't understand a single word of the riddle that the few people had just played!
"Who knows." Zhou Xia put his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "I'll go back." Then he strode into the darkness, and the sound of him going upstairs came from the stairwell.
Ye Jing'an could only turn his gaze to Yan Shuang, praying for an answer.
Yan Shuang said, "Just now, there was one less person walking up the stairs."
Ye Jingan shuddered, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, "Maybe I heard it wrong."
He remembered that Lin Haichen was the first one to go upstairs, so it was definitely not him. Ye Jing'an felt a little calmer, at least he was sure that Lin Haichen was the real Lin Haichen.
Zhou Xia may have discovered the problem very early. He was also very smart. He walked alone to eliminate himself as a suspicion.
Then the ghost can only blend in among those people.
Who could it be?
How long did it take for the ghost to sneak in?
Ye Jing'an calmed down and thought carefully. Didn't anyone notice this problem last night?
He found that Yan Shuang was looking up, staring at the window next to 502, which was Wu Yaqi's room.
Oh, he remembered that after these girls had a quarrel yesterday, Wu Yaqi returned to her room early, so she didn’t notice the footsteps.
And Zhou Xia was staring at her early this morning. Was he also suspicious of her? His claim of finding a clue yesterday afternoon was just an attempt to cover up his mistake.
Unconsciously, time passed quickly. The sound of television and voices around them became quieter and quieter, and the lights gradually went out. Yan Shuang said, "It's getting late. Let's go back."
Yan Shuang did not give a clear answer because there was no conclusive evidence.
The three of them walked up the crowded stairs. As they parted ways, Yan Shuang warned, "Be careful at night."
Ye Jingxin nodded absently.
It was not a pleasant feeling to wait for death in a silent room. Wu Yushan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She has been in a state of confusion since yesterday. In addition to the pressure of death, there was also the quarrel between her and Wu Yaqi.
She felt that since entering the game, Wu Yaqi seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
In the past, there were occasional minor frictions between them, and they would bicker with each other, but they were all insignificant little things, like a breeze blowing across the lake, causing a few ripples that would soon return to calm.
These little quarrels did not leave much impression on their hearts. No one would take them too seriously and things would be over once they were done.
However, this time it was completely different. She suddenly felt that Wu Yaqi seemed determined to completely change the relationship between them.
This feeling made her feel a little overwhelmed.
She didn't know why Wu Yaqi was like this, nor did she know how to deal with this change.
After thinking about it for a long time, she had no clue and felt uncomfortable. Wu Yushan blinked in the darkness and whispered, "Xiaoxuan, are you asleep?"
He Xiaoxuan, who was lying beside her, did not answer. Wu Yushan let out a long sigh of relief. She felt inexplicably anxious and wanted to speak madly. She even wanted to get up, open the door, and find Wu Yaqi to explain things. She could not wait even a second.
